ONLINE OFFICE HOURS ARE NO LONGER OFFERED IN ANY CLASSES AS OF JANUARY 1, 2025.
In the Fall of 2024, Bari made the decision to shutter the Online Office Hours tool. Starting with classes in October 2024, the Online Office Hours link and hours were no longer included in newly starting classes.
However, the Online Office Hours were still monitored through the end of December 2024 as they had been promised to students in some classes that started prior to October 2024.
As of January 1, 2025, the Online Office Hours room through Chatzy is no longer being monitored and efforts have been made to remove any mention of Online Office Hours in all classes that we teach. It is possible that for the near future, some mention of these hours may appear in classes that we do not teach as often. Please remove these mentions when you see them and make a point to look for mentions of the Online Office Hours as part of your Course Setup process.
There are 3 locations that Online Office Hours information may be listed (not every class will contain all 3):
course syllabus (this is typically on included in courses where we have to update the syllabus at the start of each section)
announcements (Online Office Hours) - if you see this announcement in your task list, please remove it.
welcome and introduction pages in LMS (these include instructor introduction pages, course welcome pages, or other similar pages in the orientation module of courses)
This is the language about Online office Hours that should be removed:
I will be holding three "live chat" sessions each week as a part of my open office hours. If you have a question that cannot be answered via email, please join my chat room during one of the times listed below for assistance.
Thanks,
Dr. Courts
